0:00:18 > 0:00:21COCKEREL CROWS

0:01:14 > 0:01:18Ah, Beach. Brisk this morning, eh?

0:01:18 > 0:01:21Have we still got, um, Lady Constance's new friend with us?

0:01:23 > 0:01:24Er...?

0:01:24 > 0:01:25Lady Cloughley, my lord. We do.

0:01:25 > 0:01:30I cannot understand why my sister won't let me meet her.

0:01:30 > 0:01:32Making me have my dinner up here.

0:01:32 > 0:01:35I cannot imagine, m'lord.

0:01:35 > 0:01:39Is it still your lordship's intention to travel to London this morning?

0:01:39 > 0:01:41What?

0:01:41 > 0:01:43Where..where...where...where....

0:01:43 > 0:01:46Who... Who says I have to go to London?

0:01:46 > 0:01:49Lady Constance has arranged for his lordship to stay at his club.

0:01:49 > 0:01:54Has she, forsooth? Well, His lordship isn't ruddy going.

0:01:54 > 0:01:56She can stick that in her pope and smike it.

0:01:57 > 0:02:00London. Hah!

0:02:00 > 0:02:01Heinous metropolis!

0:02:07 > 0:02:11Glory be to God for dappled things!

0:02:15 > 0:02:18I do look forward to meeting Clarence.

0:02:18 > 0:02:20- It's so sad he couldn't dine with us last night.- Yes.

0:02:20 > 0:02:25The Arch told me he was such fun at school.

0:02:25 > 0:02:27The Archbishop. Gerald. My brother.

0:02:28 > 0:02:31Ha-ha! Well, I fear, Drusilla,

0:02:31 > 0:02:34you may be denied that pleasure altogether.

0:02:34 > 0:02:37Clarence is away this week. On retreat.

0:02:37 > 0:02:41Is he? Oh, bully for him.

0:02:41 > 0:02:46The Arch approves of prayer in isolation.

0:02:46 > 0:02:50Denying pleasure is for me, of course, a way of life.

0:02:50 > 0:02:55What is more, dear, I thoroughly endorse the heating arrangements.

0:02:55 > 0:02:56There are none.

0:02:56 > 0:02:58Precisely.

0:02:58 > 0:03:03Yes, this "central heating" that people have - I think it decadent.

0:03:05 > 0:03:08I feel sure that it inspires all manner of immoderate

0:03:08 > 0:03:11communion between the sexes.

0:03:12 > 0:03:17I am well insulated from such corruption.

0:03:17 > 0:03:20Good.

0:03:20 > 0:03:22By my leathern gusset.

0:03:24 > 0:03:25Now - come along.

0:03:25 > 0:03:27CAR HORN

0:03:27 > 0:03:29Oh! Company.

0:03:29 > 0:03:31I hear the crunch of gravel.

0:03:50 > 0:03:53Here we are - Blandings Castle!

0:03:53 > 0:03:57Oh, my goodness. This is just so cute.

0:03:57 > 0:03:59Don't you think it's cute, Mr Grumman?

0:03:59 > 0:04:01As hell. Are we going in, or what?

0:04:01 > 0:04:04Of course. All very jolly inside.

0:04:04 > 0:04:06Guaranteed a warm welcome here.

0:04:10 > 0:04:11Hello?

0:04:14 > 0:04:15Hello?

0:04:16 > 0:04:18Shop?

0:04:19 > 0:04:20Oh!

0:04:22 > 0:04:26Ah, Beach. Didn't recognise you with a sock on your head.

0:04:26 > 0:04:30This is Mr Jerry Grumman, visiting us from Hollywood.

0:04:30 > 0:04:33And Miss Pauline Petite, also of that parish.

0:04:35 > 0:04:40Observe the puceness of the butlerly pate. He's a fan.

0:04:40 > 0:04:44Indeed, Mr Frederick. I have the lady's pantograph in my photry.

0:04:44 > 0:04:47Oh, that's swell.

0:04:47 > 0:04:49Let's all buy each other flowers.

0:04:49 > 0:04:51Freddie, the talent is icing up.

0:04:51 > 0:04:53Even her goose bumps are getting goose bumps.

0:04:53 > 0:04:56Yes, Brynhilde must be up to her usual nonsense.

0:04:56 > 0:04:58The boiler.

0:04:58 > 0:05:01Oh, Beach.

0:05:01 > 0:05:04On the QT, I've written a scenario.

0:05:04 > 0:05:06It's called A Woman's Price.

0:05:06 > 0:05:09Grumman's minded to make the picture with Miss Petite as the star.

0:05:09 > 0:05:11You may well gasp!

0:05:11 > 0:05:13And I'm trying to flog him the family shack as the backdrop.

0:05:13 > 0:05:18He's agreed to do a bit of a camera test. Script fee, location fee.

0:05:18 > 0:05:19Ker-ching!

0:05:19 > 0:05:22Pull this off and crinkle-wise, I'll be sitting in a bucket of cream.

0:05:22 > 0:05:27Oh, also, I might be in with a yodel with Miss Petite.

0:05:27 > 0:05:31Really rather gone on her. Beach?

0:05:31 > 0:05:34Sorry, sir. When did you last see your father?

0:05:34 > 0:05:35Eh?

0:05:35 > 0:05:39Oh, no. He hasn't still got the face fungus, has he?

0:05:39 > 0:05:42Look, just draw the guv'nor aside and tell him

0:05:42 > 0:05:44the whole of Shropshire is sniggering up its sleeve.

0:05:44 > 0:05:46I cannot, Mr Frederick.

0:05:46 > 0:05:49It is without my mandate to remark on his lordship's appearance.

0:05:49 > 0:05:54Oh, yes, yes, of course, I see that. Without your what?

0:05:54 > 0:05:57To venture such a criticism, I should first have to resign my position.

0:05:57 > 0:05:59Good God, you can't do that!

0:05:59 > 0:06:01You've got to coax Brynhilde into fiery glory!

0:06:01 > 0:06:05And Miss Petite's alabaster skin is horripilating.

0:06:05 > 0:06:09Frederick? Who are all these unlikely people?

0:06:09 > 0:06:11Oh, they're making, um...

0:06:11 > 0:06:14Um...come to fix the heating.

0:06:19 > 0:06:23Is it your intention to make a feature film here, Mr Frederick,

0:06:23 > 0:06:26without anybody finding out?

0:06:28 > 0:06:32Brilliant. As ever, Beach, top advice. Thank you.

0:06:40 > 0:06:46Benedicas benedicat, per Jesum Christum, Dominum nostrum. Amen.

0:06:46 > 0:06:48Amen.

0:06:50 > 0:06:53Have you considered giving yourself to Jesus?

0:06:53 > 0:06:57Well, we've never actually discussed it specifically.

0:06:57 > 0:06:58Who are you?

0:07:03 > 0:07:05Is this catering?

0:07:10 > 0:07:12Where are the franks?

0:07:12 > 0:07:16They are, I believe, a loose confederation of Germanic peoples.

0:07:16 > 0:07:17So... Germany, one hopes.

0:07:21 > 0:07:23Who's in charge around here?

0:07:23 > 0:07:24Ah... Beach.

0:07:26 > 0:07:27Beach, eh?

0:07:39 > 0:07:41Hey, baby. You Beach?

0:07:42 > 0:07:44Generally later in the day.

0:07:46 > 0:07:50# My heart was free

0:07:50 > 0:07:54# I rose, went forth

0:07:54 > 0:07:57# And followed Thee. #

0:07:57 > 0:08:01I thought you'd gone. What on earth are you doing?

0:08:01 > 0:08:05We're giving ourself to Jesus.

0:08:05 > 0:08:09I see. Well, would you mind awfully just going somewhere else?

0:08:09 > 0:08:12No. Not at all. Excuse me.

0:08:15 > 0:08:18That bearded person is very odd.

0:08:18 > 0:08:23Yes. Yes, he is, isn't he?

0:08:23 > 0:08:25In fact, he's a tramp.

0:08:27 > 0:08:28His name...

0:08:30 > 0:08:31..is Whiffle.

0:08:32 > 0:08:36And you allow this Whiffle the run of the house? Oh, Constance.

0:08:36 > 0:08:39What a remarkable kindness to the disadvantaged.

0:08:39 > 0:08:42I think I shall make Mr Whiffle my project.

0:08:42 > 0:08:43No, I really wouldn't bother, dear.

0:08:43 > 0:08:48No, I insist. I shall gather this lost lamb unto my bosom.

0:08:50 > 0:08:53There's some interesting fungus in the shrubbery.

0:09:07 > 0:09:09So is your father really a lord?

0:09:09 > 0:09:13I mean, that's like a king or something. Do I have to curtsy when I speak to him?

0:09:13 > 0:09:15No. No. But you may have to say things twice.

0:09:15 > 0:09:16Is he hard of hearing?

0:09:16 > 0:09:18Bit hard of thinking.

0:09:18 > 0:09:21- Huh. I bet he's a very wise man. - Hey!

0:09:21 > 0:09:23This guy, the Duck of Warlow.

0:09:23 > 0:09:26The Duck, yes. The Vile Seducer.

0:09:26 > 0:09:27He's the babe hound.

0:09:27 > 0:09:31So what we need is some schmo already to stand in for the action.

0:09:31 > 0:09:35- Oh, well... - Not you. Somebody older.

0:09:35 > 0:09:37Like me.

0:09:38 > 0:09:43Er, Mr Grumman? I have just the man.

0:09:50 > 0:09:54Freddie! Freddie, now listen to me.

0:09:54 > 0:09:57Lady Cloughley must not discover that your father is your father.

0:09:57 > 0:10:00Right. Who is he?

0:10:00 > 0:10:03Your father. But she must not know this.

0:10:03 > 0:10:04Do you see?

0:10:04 > 0:10:07- Um...- The beard, Freddie. Heavens above!

0:10:08 > 0:10:10Are you on top of all these plumbers?

0:10:10 > 0:10:11What plumbers?

0:10:11 > 0:10:14Oh, the plumbers. Absolutely.

0:10:14 > 0:10:15Hullo, Frederick.

0:10:15 > 0:10:18- I have no idea who you are.- What?

0:10:18 > 0:10:22- That the sort of thing you mean? - Yes. You said you were going to your club!

0:10:22 > 0:10:26No, no - YOU said I was going to my club. Not the same thing at all.

0:10:26 > 0:10:28The members are already dead.

0:10:28 > 0:10:31You could've sat there completely happily, completely unnoticed.

0:10:31 > 0:10:34- Oh, go and play with your pig. - Capital idea.

0:10:34 > 0:10:37Anything to prevent any further intercourse with Drusilla Cloughley.

0:10:37 > 0:10:43I will not have this friendship compromised by your ludicrous facial growth.

0:10:43 > 0:10:47The third and fourth earl both wore facial hair.

0:10:47 > 0:10:50And look what happened to them. They died.

0:10:51 > 0:10:53Is everything all right?

0:10:53 > 0:10:56No cause for alarm, Lady Fluffly. I'm just going to see my pig.

0:10:56 > 0:10:59The pig lives in the house?

0:10:59 > 0:11:02And you allow the village idiot the run of the place, out of charity.

0:11:02 > 0:11:07Oh, Connie, you are magnificent.

0:11:07 > 0:11:11Come. You are my special project.

0:11:11 > 0:11:12Let us go into the drawing room.

0:11:12 > 0:11:15No - you can't! It's full of plumbers.

0:11:15 > 0:11:20Now, you need to arrange the servants' shoes.

0:11:21 > 0:11:23- Connie? - He'll be quite happy in there.

0:11:23 > 0:11:25Now Drusilla, this time of day,

0:11:25 > 0:11:28I like to fall to my knees and give thanks.

0:11:28 > 0:11:32Hallelujah! Let us do so.

0:11:32 > 0:11:33On my own. Do excuse me.

0:11:37 > 0:11:38Connie?

0:11:50 > 0:11:53Oh! Right. That's it. I resign!

0:11:53 > 0:11:57I did not come into butling to suffer beards, spanners and viscous slime.

0:11:57 > 0:11:59No, no, no. Beach! You don't understand.

0:11:59 > 0:12:02Miss Petite needs to be morally tormented.

0:12:02 > 0:12:06And you...are just the man to do it. Come on.

0:12:10 > 0:12:13Hey, honey!

0:12:13 > 0:12:18Goodness. Such apparatus.

0:12:18 > 0:12:21These are the basics, doll. For a test we travel light.

0:12:21 > 0:12:24You make a "kinema" picture of your work?

0:12:24 > 0:12:26You find that helps?

0:12:26 > 0:12:28Yeah. It helps.

0:12:28 > 0:12:31Well, I trust you'll make it really hot.

0:12:31 > 0:12:34A broad who likes it hot.

0:12:34 > 0:12:36We'll do our best, lady.

0:12:45 > 0:12:47Freddie is so charming, you know.

0:12:47 > 0:12:50Of course he's charming. He's a swish.

0:12:50 > 0:12:53You're kidding me. Freddie shoots mink from the hip?

0:12:53 > 0:12:58All Englishmen is the same. It's a miracle they can breed.

0:12:58 > 0:13:02Er, Miss Petite? I have your Vile Seducer!

0:13:13 > 0:13:16But sir, you do not understand.

0:13:16 > 0:13:21My aunt is a toboggan-faced old trout who is bound to cut up rough!

0:13:21 > 0:13:23Is this really how they spoke in medieval England?

0:13:23 > 0:13:26Oh, take it from me. And you're doing it perfectly.

0:13:26 > 0:13:30Oh, Freddie. You don't have to pretend with me.

0:13:30 > 0:13:32Just be true to yourself, huh?

0:13:33 > 0:13:36I tell you - men, I've had 'em up to here.

0:13:36 > 0:13:40It's so rare to meet a guy who doesn't want to, you know...

0:13:40 > 0:13:41No! No!

0:13:41 > 0:13:43But I do want to, "you know".

0:13:43 > 0:13:49Even the feeblest amount of "you know" would sustain me for years.

0:13:49 > 0:13:52- Dolores? Let's go already. - Come on, out you go.

0:13:52 > 0:13:56Places, c'mon. Quiet. All right. We're going to rehearse.

0:13:56 > 0:13:57OK.

0:13:57 > 0:13:59Cue the Duck.

0:14:00 > 0:14:03And the Duck speaks.

0:14:07 > 0:14:09All the time, you poke me.

0:14:09 > 0:14:12- Provoke me. - Provoke me. You pittle lopsy.

0:14:12 > 0:14:14Erm...would you put your back into it, Beach?

0:14:14 > 0:14:18- Would you like to put your arm around my waist?- Yes, please. - I was addressing Mr Beach.

0:14:18 > 0:14:20C'mon, Duck, put some gas into it.

0:14:20 > 0:14:22On page two you're gonna tear her buttons off.

0:14:25 > 0:14:26And try not to go puce.

0:14:26 > 0:14:28Just say the damn line like you mean it.

0:14:28 > 0:14:31But all the time you provoke me! You little popsy!

0:14:33 > 0:14:34Ahhhhh!

0:14:37 > 0:14:40Now her, I like. Does she have an agent?

0:14:40 > 0:14:42Freddie, do something!

0:14:48 > 0:14:50You snake in the grass!

0:14:50 > 0:14:54Your father - the Lord of Emsworth - would be so ashamed of you.

0:15:03 > 0:15:07There is every precedent for a bearded Emsworth.

0:15:07 > 0:15:11Granted, it would be unusual for Connie to grow a beard of any great substance,

0:15:11 > 0:15:16but should she choose to do so, I would refrain from adverse comment.

0:15:16 > 0:15:21I mean, if you yourself felt disposed to have a beard...

0:15:21 > 0:15:25Guv'nor! Desperate times require desperate measures, you'll agree?

0:15:25 > 0:15:28Not in the least. Am I going to require my chequebook, Frederick?

0:15:28 > 0:15:30No, no, no, no.

0:15:30 > 0:15:31I am in love.

0:15:31 > 0:15:33Naturally. How much d'you need?

0:15:33 > 0:15:36No, what I need, old horror, is for you to accost Miss Petite

0:15:36 > 0:15:38and tell her what a marvellous specimen of manhood is your son.

0:15:38 > 0:15:41- Specimen of what?- Manhood. - Who is?- Your son.

0:15:41 > 0:15:45- But you're my son.- Guv'nor. Concentrate. Look. This is my best shot.

0:15:45 > 0:15:48If I bag Pauline Petite, I am off to Hollywood.

0:15:48 > 0:15:51Shazam! I shall never darken your bank account again.

0:15:51 > 0:15:55- Hmm. You have my attention. - It's blissfully simple.

0:15:55 > 0:15:59Miss P, you see, is putty in your lordly paws.

0:15:59 > 0:16:01All you have to do is go to her pretending to be my father...

0:16:01 > 0:16:05- But I am your father. - And plead my case. Ham it up a bit.

0:16:05 > 0:16:09Play the dear old crock with one foot in the grave, sort of thing.

0:16:09 > 0:16:13- The girl is charmed, the star-crossed lovers are united... - Frederick.

0:16:13 > 0:16:16I am not an "old crock".

0:16:16 > 0:16:19Guv'nor, please. Just speak on my behalf.

0:16:26 > 0:16:31- Old crock... Ruddy insolence! - Right then, old girl. Plan B.

0:16:31 > 0:16:32PIG GRUNTS

0:16:32 > 0:16:35I saw him, Constance...

0:16:35 > 0:16:37ravishing the American girl.

0:16:39 > 0:16:43What American girl? I don't understand at all, Drusilla.

0:16:43 > 0:16:46I shall call Beach. He can get you a glass of brandy.

0:16:46 > 0:16:50I hardly think that the witnessing of a grievous assault

0:16:50 > 0:16:53warrants the consumption of alcohol.

0:16:53 > 0:16:54Whiffle?

0:16:56 > 0:16:58Oh!

0:16:58 > 0:17:01Whiffle does rather like to dress up.

0:17:03 > 0:17:07Clarence and I indulge him. And photograph him.

0:17:07 > 0:17:09Ah, Beach.

0:17:09 > 0:17:12Aghhhhhh!

0:17:12 > 0:17:14For heaven's sake,

0:17:14 > 0:17:17is everyone in Blandings now obliged to grow facial hair?

0:17:17 > 0:17:19I do apologize, your ladyship,

0:17:19 > 0:17:22but must hasten to reassure you that the moustache is false.

0:17:22 > 0:17:24Why might that reassure me?

0:17:24 > 0:17:27It is the glue, my lady...

0:17:27 > 0:17:30Beach. If I was to ask you what was going on in this house,

0:17:30 > 0:17:31would I get a sensible reply?

0:17:34 > 0:17:37Alas not, your ladyship. Mr Frederick...

0:17:37 > 0:17:40Enough. I haven't got the energy.

0:17:40 > 0:17:43The plumbers have failed to produce even the smallest

0:17:43 > 0:17:45amount of heat necessary to sustain life.

0:17:46 > 0:17:49As always, we rely on you, Beach.

0:17:49 > 0:17:51I will do my best, your ladyship.

0:17:51 > 0:17:54In the meantime, Lady Cloughley appears to have fainted.

0:17:54 > 0:17:59Do you think you could put her into a reclining position?

0:17:59 > 0:18:02You have my permission to handle her person. Go on!

0:18:05 > 0:18:06Come now, Lady Cloughley.

0:18:06 > 0:18:08You raise me up.

0:18:12 > 0:18:13SHE SCREAMS

0:18:13 > 0:18:18Would you fetch a very large glass of brandy?

0:18:18 > 0:18:21- Would Lady Cloughley...?- Not for Lady Cloughley, it's for me.

0:18:21 > 0:18:23I am going to my room.

0:18:28 > 0:18:31One foot in the ruddy grave...!

0:18:31 > 0:18:35Blasted infernal impertinence.

0:18:35 > 0:18:36Hollywood!

0:18:39 > 0:18:41Hmm.

0:18:41 > 0:18:46Hollywood is quite possibly in North America.

0:18:46 > 0:18:48Ah, Beach, capital.

0:18:50 > 0:18:54It is imperative that Mr Frederick lives in Hollywood.

0:18:54 > 0:18:55Very good, my lord.

0:18:55 > 0:18:59By the way, Beach, your solidarity has been noted. Good man.

0:19:04 > 0:19:07I've had the strangest dream.

0:19:07 > 0:19:09I have them all the time. Fancy a snifter?

0:19:09 > 0:19:12Oh, no. Set down that filthy decoction!

0:19:12 > 0:19:15It's not that filthy. A rather tolerable nose.

0:19:15 > 0:19:18There is something profoundly queer about this house.

0:19:18 > 0:19:20Well, you're on the money there.

0:19:20 > 0:19:22I haven't given up on you, my man.

0:19:22 > 0:19:24I must find Lady Constance.

0:19:24 > 0:19:27You'll find her in her bedroom, scoffing Turkish delights.

0:19:27 > 0:19:30If you do go up there, you'll find an altogether better class of cognac.

0:19:30 > 0:19:33She conceals it in her scent bottle.

0:19:33 > 0:19:36She thinks I don't know about it, bless her. Funny old girl.

0:19:36 > 0:19:38We'll have to see about that!

0:19:38 > 0:19:39Hollywood!

0:19:57 > 0:19:59Bingo!

0:20:06 > 0:20:08Right, missy.

0:20:11 > 0:20:13All right, let's get ready. That's enough, Dolores.

0:20:13 > 0:20:18We tried the swish, we tried the stiff in the vest.

0:20:18 > 0:20:20We tried everything.

0:20:20 > 0:20:22Now it's time to try it with a real man.

0:20:22 > 0:20:24Can we move on from the seduction scene?

0:20:24 > 0:20:26The seduction scene is fine.

0:20:26 > 0:20:29OK, let's go, everybody.

0:20:29 > 0:20:31All right.

0:20:33 > 0:20:34Lights.

0:20:35 > 0:20:36Camera.

0:20:39 > 0:20:41Cue the Duck.

0:20:41 > 0:20:43Camera test. Seduction scene. Take one.

0:20:46 > 0:20:48All the time, you provoke me, my little popsy!

0:20:51 > 0:20:53- Miss Petty Patootie? - Yes!

0:20:53 > 0:20:56- Am I disturbing you?- No.

0:20:56 > 0:20:58What? Who is this bum? CUT!

0:21:02 > 0:21:04I'm the Earl of Emsworth.

0:21:04 > 0:21:07Yeah, like I'm the Duck of Warlow.

0:21:07 > 0:21:08Good gracious!

0:21:08 > 0:21:10Well, well, what a pleasure.

0:21:10 > 0:21:12Look, I don't need to detain you.

0:21:12 > 0:21:16I just wanted a quick word with Miss Plankton O'Porpoise.

0:21:16 > 0:21:20- It can wait.- No, it can't. Please sir, sit down next to me.

0:21:20 > 0:21:24If he's the Earl of Emsworth, I'll eat my pants.

0:21:24 > 0:21:26Good heavens.

0:21:26 > 0:21:29"Pants" in American doesn't mean "pants".

0:21:29 > 0:21:32It means "trousers".

0:21:32 > 0:21:36My dear fellow, you can't go about the place eating your trousers.

0:21:36 > 0:21:37You'll have yourself arrested.

0:21:37 > 0:21:42Oh, swell, another music hall geriatric.

0:21:49 > 0:21:51Who the hell are you?

0:21:51 > 0:21:54What? What? What was that?

0:21:54 > 0:21:56I said - who the hell are you?

0:21:56 > 0:21:59Nearly time for luncheon.

0:22:00 > 0:22:02Who are you?

0:22:02 > 0:22:05Monday is generally spotted dick.

0:22:05 > 0:22:06What?

0:22:06 > 0:22:08Ah! How d'you do?

0:22:09 > 0:22:11I'm the... I'm the...

0:22:11 > 0:22:15I'm the Earl of Emsworth, don't you know?

0:22:15 > 0:22:18Might I have a chinwag with Miss Petite?

0:22:18 > 0:22:20Frederick?

0:22:20 > 0:22:21Oh, my God.

0:22:23 > 0:22:28Is this some sort of game of charades? I'm a little bit confused.

0:22:28 > 0:22:30LOUD RUMBLING

0:22:34 > 0:22:36Suet and sultanas.

0:22:46 > 0:22:49And let that be a lesson to you!

0:22:49 > 0:22:52So both you bozos is Earl Emsworth

0:22:52 > 0:22:56and both of you want to wag Miss Petite's chin.

0:22:56 > 0:22:57This is nuts.

0:22:57 > 0:23:00Frederick, my dear boy, what was it you wanted me

0:23:00 > 0:23:02to say to Miss Bovine de Witt?

0:23:02 > 0:23:04She's right here, look.

0:23:04 > 0:23:08- You're the Earl of Emsworth. - Indeed I am, my dear,

0:23:08 > 0:23:11and I'd appreciate a brief word with you about my son.

0:23:11 > 0:23:12That one there.

0:23:15 > 0:23:16It's a fair cop.

0:23:16 > 0:23:18Freddie!

0:23:18 > 0:23:20I thought you said you wouldn't do it.

0:23:20 > 0:23:24Ah, but then, y'see - deucedest thing - I thought of you

0:23:24 > 0:23:28and Miss Pamplemousse being married and living in Hollywood...

0:23:28 > 0:23:30Oh, Freddie!

0:23:30 > 0:23:32I pretended to be him, you see.

0:23:32 > 0:23:34To convince you of my bona fides.

0:23:34 > 0:23:36Never mind your bonas.

0:23:38 > 0:23:42- What's happening? - Freddie, was that supposed to be me?

0:23:43 > 0:23:45But I don't have an ear strumpet.

0:23:45 > 0:23:47You don't have a silly beard, either.

0:23:47 > 0:23:50- No.- Oh, you do.

0:23:50 > 0:23:52Yes.

0:24:15 > 0:24:18As a matter of purely academic interest, Drusilla,

0:24:18 > 0:24:21why are you pouring eau de cologne all over the carpet?

0:24:21 > 0:24:24Eau de diable, more like!

0:24:28 > 0:24:31You think I hallucinate?

0:24:31 > 0:24:35You want scenes of hideous sordidness and squalor?

0:24:35 > 0:24:36Not especially, no.

0:24:36 > 0:24:38Come with me. Come on.

0:25:00 > 0:25:01Ah, Lady Muffley...

0:25:01 > 0:25:03I have considered giving myself to Jesus,

0:25:03 > 0:25:07and on the whole I have decided to shave my beard off.

0:25:07 > 0:25:12Hallelujah. What's that awful groaning? Are the plumbers leaving?

0:25:12 > 0:25:15Connie, you're daft as a brush. These people aren't plumbers.

0:25:15 > 0:25:17They're making a film.

0:25:19 > 0:25:22What? Clarence, what the...

0:25:22 > 0:25:27Clarence? You...are the Earl of Emsworth?

0:25:27 > 0:25:31Of course I'm the Earl of Emsworth, madam. Who are you?

0:25:33 > 0:25:36Constance? You have deceived me.

0:25:36 > 0:25:39You have presenting your own brother as a vagrant.

0:25:39 > 0:25:43You have called him "Whiffle".

0:25:43 > 0:25:50Constance, you are a glutton and a slattern and a drinker

0:25:50 > 0:25:52and I don't believe you pray.

0:25:52 > 0:25:55I shall never set foot in this godless house again.

0:25:55 > 0:25:57What've you got to say for yourself?

0:26:04 > 0:26:06SHE BLOWS A RASPBERRY

0:26:11 > 0:26:14Ladies and gentlemen, the central heating is now working.

0:26:14 > 0:26:16Beach! You're a man in a million.

0:26:16 > 0:26:18I endeavour to give service, my lord.

0:26:18 > 0:26:20Moreover, summon a barber, for the both of us.

0:26:20 > 0:26:22Your moustache is ridiculous.

0:26:22 > 0:26:25I will not tolerate facial foliage at Blandings.

0:26:25 > 0:26:28Very good, my lord.

0:26:28 > 0:26:31TREMENDOUS RUMBLING

0:26:42 > 0:26:44Is that supposed to happen?

0:26:48 > 0:26:51Hey, you - Constanza.

0:26:51 > 0:26:52If any of my equipment is damaged,

0:26:52 > 0:26:55I sure hope you're insured for sue-age.

0:26:55 > 0:26:59Clarence, would you kindly go to your study and fetch your assegai.

0:26:59 > 0:27:01Oh, splendid.

0:27:01 > 0:27:03What? His assy-what?

0:27:03 > 0:27:07A Zulu spear. Fascinating artefact. Terrifyingly sharp.

0:27:07 > 0:27:11I fear you are about to feel its presence in your person.

0:27:19 > 0:27:21So I guess I'll see you around, Freddie.

0:27:23 > 0:27:25And when I do...

0:27:25 > 0:27:26SHE WHISPERS INAUDIBLY

0:27:28 > 0:27:30Oh!

0:27:37 > 0:27:42Ah! Thank you, Beach.

0:27:42 > 0:27:44The plumbers appear to be departing.

0:27:44 > 0:27:45Indeed, my lord.

0:27:45 > 0:27:49Would you recommend them? People are bound to ask.

0:27:49 > 0:27:52They have been most entertaining, my lord.

0:27:52 > 0:27:57Good. Oh look, look, there's Miss Pansy Petticoat.

0:27:57 > 0:28:02There, the one temporarily attached to Frederick's face.

0:28:02 > 0:28:07For a minute there I thought she was going to whisk him away to Holloway, but not to be.

0:28:08 > 0:28:12One presses on in hope, eh, Beach?

0:28:12 > 0:28:14One does, my lord.

0:28:14 > 0:28:19I've been giving a bit of thought to...to growing a beard...

0:28:19 > 0:28:21HE MUTTERS TO HIMSELF

0:28:30 > 0:28:31Cut!
